Threeconferences of local committees of our Party have recently been held: (1)
the conference of the four Caucasian committees, (2) the conference of the
three southern committees (Odessa, Ekaterinoslav, and Nikolayev), and (3) the
conference of the six northern committees (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tver, Riga,
the North, and Nizhni-Novgorod). We hope shortly to be able to give detailed
information about these conferences.[2]For the time being we can report
that all three conferences emphatically went on record for the immediate
convocation of the Third Congress of the Party and in support of the publicists’
group of the “Majority”.
